Tried to wear a crown you didn't deserve
[?] that no one heard
Written in the tragedy we couldn't ignore
Comedy of errors where the ending is your own reward
Are you the fool who would be king
Or just a know-it-all who doesn't know a thing?
Small-time pretender takes the throne
Now it's time for the truth to be known
You can fake it all you want,
But you'll never rate above a cliché, yeah
You can try, try, try but you're never gonna take it away
You tricked yourself about the blood on your hands
Now your gun is loaded and we know where you stand
You picked our pockets and you left us for broke
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Are you the fool who would be king
Or just a know-it-all who doesn't know a thing?
Small-time pretender takes the throne
Now it's time for the truth to be known
You can fake it all you want,
But you'll never rate above a cliché, yeah
You can try, try, try but you're never gonna take it away
Take it away
(Try, try, try!)
(Try, try, try!)
(Try, try, try!)
(Try, try, try!)
(Try, try, try!)
You tricked yourself about the blood on your hands
(Try, try, try!)
You're gun is loaded and we know where you stand
(Try, try, try!)
You called the dogs and you left us for broke
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Are you the fool who would be king
Or just a know-it-all who doesn't know a thing?
Small-time pretender takes the throne
Now it's time for the truth to be known
You can fake it all you want,
But you'll never rate above a cliché, yeah
You can try, try, try but you're never gonna take it away
